The CEO is Too Fierce: My Adorable Wife Needs Taming

Chapter 359 Anxious Heart

Chapter 359 Anxious Heart

"Why are you still crying?"

Except in bed, Li Chenxu couldn't bear to see Mu Xiaoyu cry. Now, seeing her tears flowing incessantly, Li Chenxu hurriedly wiped away the tears on Mu Xiaoyu's face, gently kissing her eyelids as he did so.

"Okay, okay, don't cry. It's my fault. I won't do it again."

Li Chenxu was both amused and exasperated. It was Mu Xiaoyu who had made the mistake, but in the end, he was the one who had to apologize.

However, two people who love each other don't need to worry about those things. As long as they are doing well, that's enough.

Fortunately, Mu Xiaoyu wasn't a delicate person. After crying for a short while, her tears stopped. She hugged Li Chenxu tightly around the waist, buried her head in his arms, and absorbed his warmth and unique scent.

She really likes it when Li Chenxu hugs her like this; it makes her feel the intimacy between them.

It seemed as if no one in the entire world could separate them.

Li Chenxu let Mu Xiaoyu hold him until the food was almost cold. Then Li Chenxu gently patted Mu Xiaoyu's back and said, "Okay, you can hold me for as long as you want after you finish eating. Let's eat first."

Mu Xiaoyu had just received Li Chenxu's forgiveness, so she would do whatever he asked without any resistance. Therefore, upon hearing Li Chenxu's words, Mu Xiaoyu immediately left his embrace and began to eat her meal obediently.

In fact, she has never been an obedient person. If it were anyone else in this situation, even if Mu Xiaoyu was wrong, she would apologize in another way. She would never be willing to put down all her pride to apologize and beg for Li Chenxu's forgiveness like she did when facing Li Chenxu. She would never be obedient to him after they made up.

She was willing to do this simply because the person was Li Chenxu, the one she loved and who loved her, her husband, and she felt no resentment whatsoever.

The only slight grievance she felt was that Li Chenxu ignored her, nothing more.

It was quite late when Mu Xiaoyu finished dinner. Both of them had been busy with their own work that day, and by the end of dinner, they were both quite tired.

"Take a walk to digest your food first, then take a shower and get some rest. I still have some things to take care of and need to go to the study."

After the maid cleared away the dishes, Li Chenxu spoke to Mu Xiaoyu. After speaking, he ruffled Mu Xiaoyu's soft hair and turned to go to the study, but Mu Xiaoyu stopped him as soon as he turned around.

"Brother Shenxu, I want to ask you, what are you planning to do about Li Chenyu's matter?"

"Don't worry, Li Chenyu poses no threat to me whatsoever. You heard what I said last night. I've known about Li Chenyu for a long time. I know him all too well over the years. He's extravagant and dissolute, and he has all the vices that rich kids have. My father is also very clear about this, otherwise Li Chenyu would have gone to the Li family while I was away."

Mu Xiaoyu nodded repeatedly upon hearing this. She knew this, but... but since Old Master Li still had his bloodline, did it become less important whether she and Li Chenxu had a child?

As if sensing Mu Xiaoyu's doubts, Li Chenxu smiled and continued, "I know you're worried that my dad might target me and Auntie, but don't worry, he still wants me and your child. My dad is a bit old-fashioned, and in his eyes, even his offspring, who are as hopeless as Li Chenyu, wouldn't be any better."

Upon hearing Li Chenxu's words, Mu Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief. Not wanting to delay Li Chenxu's work, she didn't ask any further questions, nodded in agreement, and then asked Li Chenxu to go to the study.

However, with Li Chenxu gone, Mu Xiaoyu wasn't in the mood to sleep. The weather outside was nice today, and there was practically no trace of yesterday's heavy rain. By tomorrow, the road conditions in various places should have mostly recovered, and then she and Li Chenxu could go back to her hometown to find out the meaning of the string of numbers Mu Pengzheng had left behind.

Just thinking about that time makes Mu Xiaoyu inexplicably nervous.

She felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

Mu Pengzheng was killed back then. He probably didn't even know when he was killed. If that's the case, how did he leave behind that string of numbers? And when did Bai Ye and the others find out about it?

In that instant, countless questions flashed through Mu Xiaoyu's mind, all sorts of questions. She felt that some question was hidden within the questions that had just surfaced in her mind, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't grasp it.

Mu Xiaoyu felt a headache coming on and couldn't help but cover her head to relieve the pain.

She sat quietly by the bed for a while, and after thinking it over, she went to the study to find Li Chenxu. Li Chenxu was in a video conference. When he saw Mu Xiaoyu suddenly come in, he paused for a second, and finally said to his subordinate on the other end of the video, "Do things the way I just said, and figure everything out before the New Year."

After saying that, he turned off the video and looked at Mu Xiaoyu: "Aren't you asleep yet?"

Mu Xiaoyu shook her head, walked to Li Chenxu's side and hugged him, saying in a muffled voice, "I'm always a little uneasy. Do you think we'll be okay going back to our hometown tomorrow?"

As she spoke, Mu Xiaoyu suddenly remembered those thugs from last night and quickly asked, "By the way, who sent those people in the parking lot earlier? Have you found out?"

Mu Xiaoyu's barrage of questions left Li Chenxu somewhat helpless, but he still answered seriously, "I've already arranged things for tomorrow. Just in case someone tries to take advantage of this time to attack us, we've brought a lot of people with us. As for what happened last night, I've investigated it pretty thoroughly."

At this point, Li Chenxu's expression suddenly darkened. He paused for a few seconds before saying, "Those thugs from last night just came out of the police station. Most of them were petty thugs who had committed small offenses like stealing chickens and dogs. They came to cause trouble for us as soon as they left the police station last night. I had someone investigate their backgrounds, and they hadn't been in contact with any suspicious people before this."
